Speedy deletion nomination of Charles Alfred Fisher
[edit]A tag has been placed on Charles Alfred Fisher requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles – see the Article Wizard.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}}
to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. -- Bk314159 (Talk to me and find out what I've done) 14:26, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

[edit]You should wait for others to write an article about subjects in which you are personally involved, instead of writing it yourself, as you did at Charles Alfred Fisher. This applies to articles about you, your achievements, your band, your business, your publications, your website, your relatives, and any other possible conflict of interest.
Creating an article about yourself is strongly discouraged. If you create such an article, it might be listed on articles for deletion. Deletion is not certain, but many feel strongly that you should not start articles about yourself. This is because independent creation encourages independent validation of both significance and verifiability. All edits to articles must conform to Wikipedia:No original research, Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, and Wikipedia:Verifiability.
If you are not "notable" under Wikipedia guidelines, creating an article about yourself may violate the policy that Wikipedia is not a personal webspace provider and would thus qualify for speedy deletion. If your achievements, etc., are verifiable and genuinely notable, and thus suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later. (See Wikipedia:Wikipedians with articles.) Thank you. -- Bk314159 (Talk to me and find out what I've done) 14:27, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
Sorry
[edit]I should not have to tell you, but I will try to get the message over to you. Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia with several rules and one of it is notability the other verifiability. Point one most likely you think you are notable, but this is not the standard we use to check for notability. Is there a book a newspaper or an other good source mentioning you? If not you are most likely not notable enough to get an article.--Stone (talk) 15:34, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
- Not just a mention. Notability as Wikipedia uses the term requires significant coverage in reliable sources. – ukexpat (talk) 17:19, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

This is the final warning you will receive regarding your disruptive edits.
The next time you use Wikipedia for advertising, as you did at User:Charlesafisher/Hubert L. Eaton, Founder of Forest Lawn Memorial-Parks & Mortuaries authored by Charles A. Fisher, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. --Orange Mike | Talk 20:11, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
